Hello, I was given the task to build out a few MacBook pros. The problem is, I have very little experience with Mac as I am a pure Windows user. I have a master MacBook Pro Image with a fresh install of Windows runing a volume license. The problem here is that when I deploy this image, the Parallels key will be the same on all the machines. I already have purchased several copies of Parallels. I found this solution, however the OP did not post the exact procedure he used. http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?t=19579 - Can someone advise on what command to use in Terminal to delete the file described in the link above along with what specific permissions to modify so I can input a new key for Parallels in deployed images? Thanks!
I would assume the OP used Terminal to reveal the hidden file (anything starting with a "." is hidden/invisible Terminal is just Unix, and therefore similar to DOS etc Open the terminal and enter "cd Library/Parallels/" Next "ls -a" shows all files preceded by the dot Finally, I assume, you would use "rm .parallels_license_3.0" I must warn you that I am a complete Unix novice and cannot promise your machine will still work! A safer way would be to use some utility such as PathFinder, Tinkertool or File Buddy to make invisible files visible and delete as normal. HTH
Thanks for the tip. I will poke around & try out your suggestions. Are the utilities you mentioned freeware?
Tinkertool is free (at least one version is!) http://www.bresink.com/osx/TinkerTool.html The other two aren't ... but probably have free trials
